You seem to forget that it is in fact a christian organisation…The church of all denominations are waining( except muslim i understand)..The fact the William Prince of orange took the popes money to come and KILL for politcal gain seems irrelevant..To walk on any street behind your OPEN bible must be a proud moment….. Glasgow had a R.C lord provost for well over 30 years , Scotland votes the catholic Labour party whole heartidly , so the bigotory and hatred does come from both sides but only seems to be reported on one side…

The word Bigot derives from Roman Catholics burning protestants at the stake….BI GOD ITES..

Devout Catholic , bigoted protestant seems to be the only way BRITTISH media likes to look at things ..

Some people are proud to be BI GOD ITES and proclaim to God only…

It will dwindle in the north of Ireland too, eventually. Hope I live to see that day.

You are correct in saying that Orange parades and the order itself is waining in Scotland. There may be several reasons why.One reason may be the relative change in the religious population particularly in Glasgow. The percentage of Catholics in the city has increased and with this the “threat” we felt has diminished.We can look on more in pity and not fear as the depleted ranks of “orangies” shuffle past. Another reason is the disgust felt by people of the Protestant faith as thier religion is disgraced by the drink and drug filled hangers on who have never seen the inside of a church yet still bawl out that they are Protestants. As a young man I felt it was a duty to disrupt these parades where possible in Glasgow. Now I can see them and immediatly ignore them as most “Tims” do. There are still flash points in Glasgow, two of them being The Garngad and The Calton.These are well known as a staunch Celtic areas and the parades go there at thier own risk.Hopefully these parades will keep declining until they are only memories.

And.. the Venetian Carnival of Masks, Barcelona’s feast of saint Joan, New Orleans Mardi gras, Rio et al…
The wretched dross of drunkards who follow follow the Walk mirror in mind set and intelligence the marchers whose sole intent is to intimidate and alienate the environs and the inhabitants they chose to pollute by their swaggered and staggered outrageous presence.
It beggars belief they are in this era afforded such licence.
